Wish him well but no need for me to hear about it. No doubt he's an SNP-er? Not in the top 100 British sportspersons for me. Quote

Sports personality is a misnomer, its all about what you achieve and your character. Murray has always displayed immense character on the court and this comeback is quite something. Quote

Personality - Murray is basically perfect - his will to win and character are part of a sports personality that sets him apart from most British sportspeople down the years. He's not there to tell jokes but to be as good at tennis as he can be. He inspires loads of people. Quote

Roger_Dubuis Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Jonny Wilkinson is the best British sportsman of this century.The opposition described him as freakishly good, praise like that in tennis is reserved for Nadal on clay and Federer at his best. He also had some injuries and was a pleasant personality Quote

Jonny Wilkinson practicing conversions from tryline. Something he'd never have to do in a game. Bear in mind this is after he's retired Quote

Farrelli Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Incredible really, she has just become British number one as well. Amazing performance! Quote
Dimron Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Tennis machine, she has analysed everything and used her obviously advanced psychomotor skills to beat her opponents. Lets see if she can do the creativity bit as well. Secretly hoping... If not, she should come and coach our lot on corners Quote
Winchester White Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Talk about rapid improvement! She seems a real talent, good luck to her. Quote
